Shoreham-by-Sea · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Shoreham-by-Sea restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Shoreham-by-Sea
Shoreham fries hard along East Street, Brunswick Road and the High Street, where cafes, takeaways and riverside bistros run their extraction flat out through every service.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across East Street, Brunswick Road and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Shoreham-by-Sea rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
The kit the East Street and Brunswick Road cooks work beneath - canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan - is what we degrease. Done right it pulls the way it should, clearing heat and steam, backed by a current TR19 Grease certificate, and it runs cooler too, because a clean Shoreham-by-Sea fan is not working against a greased one to move the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying East Street cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
We strip and degrease the canopy inside and out, clean or replace the baffle filters, and degrease the extractor fan and its housing - the part that quietly loses performance as grease loads the blades over a hard Brunswick Road service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Shoreham-by-Sea fire risk assessment and insurer have the record they ask for.
Filters
The standard for commercial cooklines: they trap grease and slow flame spread. Cleaned, or replaced when warped or corroded.
Common on older or lighter setups; they clog fast and pass grease through if neglected. We flag where a baffle upgrade is overdue.
On the odour and emission-controlled systems near Shoreham-by-Sea's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Shoreham-by-Sea cookline's extraction and its fire protection are one system - and a clean is the moment to check the join.
Nozzles aimed at the canopy and cooking points; grease build-up around them on a busy East Street line is exactly what they exist to fight. We clean around them without disturbing the system.
Where the gas shuts off if extraction fails on an East Street line, we work without tripping it - and flag it if it is not behaving.
Checked for the grease that would stop them closing - a quiet failure point on a Brunswick Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Shoreham-by-Sea
We are under Shoreham-by-Sea's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
Thick grease had built through the filters and extract duct of a town-centre Shoreham-by-Sea kebab shop, cutting the pull over the griddle. We soaked the filters, scraped the plenum and filters clean and washed the duct through to the fan. The canopy passed its grease-depth check with extraction noticeably stronger, and we left photographs and the paperwork for the records. The owner kept us supplied with a steady stream of brews through the morning.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Shoreham-by-Sea service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard East Street cookline sheds its heat and steam faster, so the kitchen keeps cooler and the fan works less to move the same air. Leave it caked and you carry a fire risk, a failed inspection point and an uncomfortable kitchen at once. How often it is due tracks the cooking - the Brunswick Road takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Shoreham-by-Sea canopy, filters and fan, agree scope and frequency.
Remove filters and access panels, protect the cookline.

Questions
It depends how hard the kitchen runs. Under TR19 Grease, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day points to roughly every three months, moderate to every six, light to every twelve. A busy East Street or Brunswick Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Shoreham-by-Sea has the riverside, airport and town-centre kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. Most venues we clean around East Street and Brunswick Road are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence an East Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes - from East Street, Brunswick Road and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider West Sussex.
Extraction cleaning covers the canopy, filters and fan; where the concealed duct run behind them is also loaded - as it often is in a tight East Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older Brunswick Road takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Local knowledge
In the 1850s the Adur estuary held some sixty oyster-beds, and up to a hundred Shoreham boats worked them, sending as much as twenty thousand tons of oysters a year out by rail. The town's trade turns on cooked food now more than shellfish, and its busy kitchens coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service. Left in place it feeds flame and starves airflow, so we strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard.
